The Best Hearty Napa Cabbage Beef Meatball Soup – KETO

Keto Napa Cabbage Beef Meatballs Soup Recipe – very quick and easy to make, nutritious and delicious soup made with cabbage and ground beef. Hearty, one pot, a family favorite, perfect for the cold weather. 

Chinese napa cabbage soup is a warming, comforting, and soothing soup perfect for a weeknight regular. This humble soup has an incredible depth of flavor while cooking in any stock as the cabbage acts like a sponge, absorbing any flavor available. It is easy to prepare and nutritious. I added soy sauce for flavor to this soup.

You can make it in a crockpot /low cooker but I prefer a stovetop version as it takes only 20 minutes from start to finish to make.

This Keto Beef Meatballs and Napa Cabbage soup is perfect for a Keto (low-carb) meal prep. Carb-free recipe for the meal plan. Diabetic-friendly dinner recipe.
